Subject(s): Sound; Storms; Wind
The bleak and barren mountains keep
A never-ending gloom around
The lonely loch; the winds resound,
The rains beat down, the tempests sweep,
The days are calm and dark and still, --
No other changes Coruisk fill.
Scarce living sound is heard, save high
The eagle's scream or wild swan's cry.
